It fits comfortably into the hand, and, at just 730g, it is one of the lightest hair dryers we’ve used, rivalled only by Dyson’s supersonic,” they said.
They added that it left their hair “visibly smoother and shinier”and they praised the concentrator for doing a “great job of giving us a bouncy blow-dry.” This is thanks to the ionic tool, which distributes the heat evenly while sealing strands of hair with retained moisture. “We were most impressed with how quickly it managed to dry our hair, and how quiet it was.” Save £50 right now on the tool, with an advantage card.
